Fred,
I haven't cut a foot off the rod, just over an inch. What I am going to do is make a cork handle that fits in the end of the second section, like i did with my other rod.
This makes a nice small ledger rod, and is good enough for the fish i am after, if the big fish get hooked, i will just have to play them as i always do..........with fingers crossed.............
I didn't mean you'd cut a foot off your rod; it wouldn't be much good for bite detection if you had. I was merely alluding to the fact that within a long float rod blank lies a shorter, more powerful one.
